It's a proven fact that adding massive amounts of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere can warm the globe.
Actually, this is NOT a proven fact. It's probably a fact, and it's a solid theory, but not proved.

This is also not true.

So then your poll is meaningless. I’m assuming you’ve heard the pigeon checkers analogy. That’s what you are doing.
You could have just stated from the beginning, “my facts come from a worthless poll that an overwhelming majority of scientists didn’t bother to answer”.

Re-forestation. Planting millions and millions more trees would be great for our planet.
Buddy, the extra CO2 we've been pumping into the atmosphere is doing this already. That's plant food, and the earth has been getting much greener due to the greenhouse gases.

So the dude that ships millions of cardboard boxes a day with millions of gasoline and oil using vehicles wants to fight climate change? Oh the irony!

If he wants to do something to help the environment, maybe he should start by Amazon switching to hemp biodegradable plastic shipping material. Everybody wants to talk about global warming yet nobody gives a shite about the dump truck full of plastic waste we dump in the ocean every minute that goes by.

This is a tax write off and PR stunt. Nothing more.

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe he invests his funding into creating a solar cell that doesn’t use rare earth metals and therefore bypasses the Corona infected chicoms.
Maybe they invent an economically feasible way to grow, but more importantly harvest the lipids present in bacteria for a truly green biofuel.
Maybe they can do any number of things. I’m all for funding research of all kinds to reduce pollution whether that be atmospheric or aqueous. Just don’t tell me it’s my fault when the Indians and Chinese are classified as emerging markets and pollute far worse than the US

I remember a saying my grandfather used to say when I’d find myself in a tight spot of my own doing...
“Boy, you fighting air.”
Little did Paw know, this would become an actual thing people gave money to.

No problem with the man putting up his own money to gain emissions efficiencies. Curious how it will specifically be used.
It will be used to buy off politicians to tax citizens, while maintaining sweetheart deals for Amazon.

10 billion buys a lot of trees.
Posted on 2/17/20 at 4:30 pm to agregime1
How much of the 10 bil will end up in the democrat coffers

The only thing being wasted in this thread is the effort by both sides thinking they can convince the other on a message board that they are right.
Posted on 2/17/20 at 4:41 pm to agregime1
It's his money, so whatever.
But I feel like there are many other things that $10 billion would have been better suited for than climate change.

You really don't think that humans can change the climate?
We can pollute rivers and streams, oceans, lakes, and land. We see it all the time.
But when it comes to air, the megatons of shite spewed out every day just magically disappears and has no impact whatsoever.
Haven't you visited the poli board on this topic?

A billion trees might help
This was covered in another thread; the number of mature, peak-carbon-capturing trees needed to offset just the average annual human population growth was about the size of RI. Hundreds of billions would have to be planted every year, for a decade, just to offset the humans born this year.
The dismal failure of public education and understanding of the carbon cycle is always brought into stark contrast in these threads.

Here’s the funny thing about air, it mixes dramatically easier than even water does. If you were to look at the amount of CO2 we are pumping into the atmosphere and compare it to total
Atmosphere, it’s minuscule. If you look at the oceans, it’s very small pockets relatively speaking.
Now compile the fact that we are talking CO2, something all Photosynthetic beings utilize for growth, and it’s negative impacts are in fact up for debate.
If you want to talk methane, sulfur dioxide, NOx species, and a hand full of others let’s talk and you and I will actually agree on their dangers and need for purification prior to discharge.
I’m also all ears about stoping water pollution as, as I stated earlier, diffuses far less in terms of a global perspective. But don’t tell me to try and stop the economic engine that has raised more out of poverty and improved the lives for literal BILLIONS because of CO2 and something every prediction has gotten wrong since the 70’s
